The MPE/iX FTP is an implementation of both the client and
server programs which conform to RFC959 and RFC1123. The MPE/iX
FTP can transfer files with FTP implementations on many other system
types, including MS-DOS, OS2, HP-UX, (AT&T, IBM &
SUN) variations of UNIX, POSIX, VAX/VMS, IBM/MVS, HP-RTE and other
MPE systems.
FTP/iX is supported over Internet Protocol (IP) based network
and operates over many different hardware links. These hardware
links include, Local Area Network links (LAN): 100VG-AnyLAN, 100Base-T,
IEEE 802.3, ETHERNET, IEEE 802.5 (Token Ring), FDDI, and Wide Area
Network links (WAN): X.25.

The MPE/iX FTP user can perform the following tasks:
Connect to a remote host system
Transfer or delete single or multiple files
Rename single files on the remote system
List or change remote directories
Perform ASCII, binary, or bytestream file transfers
Change file attributes (using BUILD
parameters) for files transferred to the MPE/iX system
The supported FTP user commands are summarized in Chapter 2 “FTP User Commands: Quick Reference”

Remote users accessing the MPE/iX FTP server can perform the
following tasks:
Establish a session on a remote MPE/iX
host system
Transfer or delete single or multiple files
Rename single files on the remote MPE/iX system
List or change remote MPE/iX hierarchical directories
Perform ASCII, binary, or bytestream file transfers
